As reports came in Monday night of the unfolding horror in Manchester, England at the scene of pop star Ariana Grande’s concert, people in Boca Raton, Florida, the singer's hometown, were saddened and full of disbelief.

“I just know that she's from here, and it’s terrible what happened,” said Wendy Alexis, reading the latest developments on her cell phone at Mizner Park.

Grande lived in her mother’s Patch Reef Estates home from age 11 until she moved to New York to further her career a few years later. Before that the family lived in various other Boca Raton neighborhoods.

“It could happen right here in Boca,” said Fancy James. “I’m sorry for the people who lost their lives. I love going to concerts; it could have been me, going to see Beyonce – you never know.”

After several hours of silence, Grande, 23, tweeted: “broken. from the bottom of my heart i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.”

broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.
